Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

781
Forsi put the kraft paper bag containing the manuscript into the exclusive mailbox outside the editorial department.

She exhaled and rubbed her hands. It was dark and cold now, and she felt a little hungry.

Although in the original plan, she should have a good discussion with her editor in charge about the plot of her story and the next submission.But Fors now just wants to go back quickly, return to her warm living room with a fireplace, put on her favorite woolen blanket, take a nap on the sofa, drink a cup of hot coffee... Well, Hugh should also be Maybe he'll drop by and bring her her favorite sandwich when he's home from work.Forsi thought with ease.

Within this month, the serial manuscript she has in hand will be finished, and the next step is to accept the commission of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow to write some short stories for this "Sea Hunter"—considering that she may have to commission the other party To hunt the "Holy One of Secrets", Forsi needs money very much.

However, the current situation was tense during this period, and the control over the paper media was slightly increased.Article review has become more difficult. Apart from serialization, my other short submissions are still under review... If they can't be published, there will be no manuscript fee, and if there is no manuscript fee, there will be no motivation.Coupled with the fact that the weather was cold and she didn't want to go out, Fors wanted to temporarily stop writing and took Xio for a trip outside.

There are gradually some pedestrians on the road, mostly young people after school.

Seeing that the surrounding area was a little more lively, Fors planned to go to a nearby bookstore to buy a newspaper, and then waited for the tram to pass by.

Leaving as soon as she said, Forsi went straight to the nearest bookstall and newsstand.But on the road, amidst the crowds, out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a familiar figure passing the corner quickly and trotting into an alley.

"That's... Hugh?"

Fors looked over there curiously, if she wanted to find someone who was as petite as before among the people she was familiar with, it would be Hugh.

What is Hugh doing? Is it a bounty hunter mission again?

Oh, by the way, Hugh seems to have become an informant of Loen's official MI[-], and he is no longer a bounty hunter.She also said that she got the help of her father's friends, and it seems that there is still hope to become a regular... However, there seemed to be some confusion in MI[-] before, and I heard that many official Extraordinary people went crazy. The alley is so dark, Hugh can't be Is there any task to deal with the out-of-control Extraordinary?

Curious and worried, Forsi hesitated for two seconds, relying on the ability of "teleportation" to easily and covertly approach the direction where Xio disappeared.She did not enter the spirit world, but passed through walls and houses in a translucent state, and quickly caught up with him.

"Sure enough, it's Hugh."

And the masked man standing opposite Xio should be what she called "father's friend".

After finding an angle that could bring the profiles of both sides into view, Forsi didn't get any closer. This distance was already within the limit of hearing and eyesight of Extraordinary people, and it was even farther away.But as a "master of tricks", she also learned lip language in her spare time.

Therefore, Fors first saw the man wearing the golden mask standing in the shadow opposite Xio and said:
"...how are you getting ready?... His Majesty the Emperor... ordered the ****... Church of Thunder..."

After Forsi distinguished some of the words in this sentence, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

emperor?Now there is no real emperor in Loen, only Pope Gad II who temporarily acts as the emperor!Does SI[-] now obey Gad II and the Church of Thunder?What the hell are they talking about?
The writer's sensitivity made Forsi have some bad premonitions. She wanted to turn around and leave as quietly as when she came, but the friend who accompanied her day and night was opposite this "wrong" MI[-] member. , Fors had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay here.

At this moment, she didn't have any Sealed Artifact on her body.

Immediately afterwards, Xio spoke:

"Yes... soon... will it be successful?"

"Didn't die... The God of Thunder... Imprisoned... He will return..."

Fors sweated. She suspected that the MI[-] member in front of Xio was planning something very dangerous, but she couldn't figure out why Xio would communicate with him, or even cooperate!
And... who the hell are they talking about?The emperor, the emperor, is it George III who suddenly died suddenly during the speech?

Didn't he already die in the ceremony of becoming a god?Why do they say he is alive?What exactly are they trying to do?
Looking at the pious and serious expression on Xio's face, Fors felt like her scalp would explode: Huo seemed to have become a stranger in an instant, obviously she had always hated George III, because the death of her father Mason Dill was another There is something hidden!Moreover, they also captured and interrogated Viscount Stratford before, and confirmed that it was George III who wanted to become a god, and Mason Dill tried to report the matter to the church, so he was murdered!
Forsi suddenly felt chills all over her body. She didn't dare to listen any longer, and she didn't dare to look at her companion's face anymore to read their conversation.

A terrifying guess suddenly appeared in her mind.

Immediately afterwards, she backed away without a sound, and disappeared into the alley in an instant.

As soon as she left through the spirit world, the man wearing the golden mask immediately turned his head around. After searching to no avail, he said to Xio:
"Don't forget what I told you."

"Take time out this weekend and join our prayer gathering. His Majesty the Emperor needs us, and the nobles will come. In this regard, we are in the same position as the nobles... want to bring down the empire that has been dragged down by the Church of the God of Thunder To be rescued, we can only rely on the emperor!"

Xio also nodded, and said in a normal tone:
"I know, I'll go."

They exchanged their allegiance to Emperor George III in such a way that they seemed to have completely forgotten that Mason Dill had ever existed.

……

boom!
Richard once again got rid of the dream that invaded his mind, but the soft humming of the woman still kept echoing in his ears, as if it would never stop.

"Goddess of the Night..."

He shook his head vigorously, with a rather irritable expression on his face:
"Wolf, or spider, or dog?... I really don't understand why humans don't even sacrifice themselves, but they always hope to protect themselves by things that are not even humans, and they are willing to give to Him." They are slaves."

Before the words fell, there were several more reprimands as expected.

Probably aware that his voice was a bit unpleasant, Richard stretched out his hand casually, and used a few steel needles to scribble and connect the neck wound that was almost severed.A higher power than one's own prevents the wound from healing and continues to cause pain and dizziness.In order to prevent his head from falling off suddenly when he was fighting, he had no choice but to fix it like this first.But the broken throat and vocal cords inside couldn't help it. While enduring suffocation and pain, he cursed in a low voice in a leaky voice.

Although the spirituality has not yet bottomed out, it is time to work hard again.

"...I wanted to ask you one thing, but now I don't want to ask."

Richard whispered to himself:

"The people who persuaded me to surrender said that I could be a nobleman in the Northern Continent, and they also said a bunch of empty promises to appease the people... But anyway, there are enough human beings, and you don't lack these tens of millions of anchors. This slave is missing."

After sighing, Richard's body suddenly became distorted, and suddenly became a hundred meters tall. With the blood on his body, his fully unfolded mythical creature form was like a bloody creature that had just come out of the murder scene. Ragdoll.

Immediately afterwards, the huge rag doll smiled, revealing three rows of sharp shark-like teeth.

Just when the two angels fell into temporary confusion due to the sudden burst of "desire" breath, the rag doll reached out and grabbed the body of Gad II.The spirituality in his body was completely quiet the moment he was caught by the huge palm of the rag doll, as if he had fallen into an indestructible seal.

The pope suddenly came to his senses, roaring and causing countless thunderclaps to pour out, and the silver-white electric light illuminated the entire space.But Richard didn't care, even if the thunder split his arms and body black, he turned a blind eye.The singing in Richard's mind suddenly became violent, and the sickle-like moon rose again in the distance, and slammed down towards the arm holding Gad II!
The rag doll still maintained that piercing smile, grasping Gad II's body with one hand, and pinching his head with two short fingers with the other hand, twisting it lightly.

Click.

Swish!
The light of the knife reached in front of Richard in an instant, and cut off his hands.

And he also lowered his head, biting his own hands and the detached but still alive Gad II who was held tightly in his hands. He held it with his teeth, then raised his head, and swallowed it all.

Click!Click!
Like a rolling mill weighing hundreds of kilograms crashing down, between the repeated interlacing and opening and closing of the sharp teeth, it seemed that a short cry was interrupted, and the flesh and blood were ground into a pulp by the teeth of the gods in an instant.

In an instant, the entire spiritual world became quite quiet, only the chewing sound was left for a few seconds.

And the hands that were eaten by himself slowly grew out again.

"Ugh."

The rag doll let out an emotional sigh, and the eyeballs that were the size of a person behind the lens slowly turned to the Pope of the Night:

"I have known for a long time that human flesh is not good...but you will be next!"

……

Audrey's eyes had turned completely golden, but this didn't allow her to see through the darkness around her.

She felt as if she was not in the spirit world, but appeared in the night on the outskirts of Backlund, the sky was dark and the cold wind gusts.There are no street lights, and the darkness with visibility of less than two meters will always bring extreme fear to people. It seems that there are countless monsters hiding around him.

Probably because she is just a puppet now, her soul is locked by the seal on the puppet, which to a certain extent resisted the "dream ballad" of Archbishop St. Anthony.

But Taufik was not so lucky, he was almost half asleep, his eyes switching back and forth between misty and angry.

A demigod is definitely worthy of more careful treatment than Sequence Five.

In the next second, Audrey suddenly had a creepy feeling, as if being watched by an oncoming beast at night in the suburbs!
Even though she sensed something, she couldn't react at all, so she hastily lowered her head.There seemed to be a huge beast appearing in the darkness behind him, like a wolf, but also like a tall human being - it was clearly in the shape of a human being, but it was more than ten meters high, with two pairs of arms growing out of its ribs and waist , the body was wrapped in thick darkness, but it was clearly displayed in Audrey's mind.

Almost instantly, Audrey felt great fear surge in her heart.

Following the appearance of the figure of a monster like in myths and legends, Audrey's body trembled uncontrollably.

She seemed to have relived the despair and fear she felt when she faced God's punishment or even experienced God's punishment herself. She wanted to kneel down and crouch with her head in her arms. The education she had received since she was a child and the instinctive fear of God Get up, and almost tear her soul to pieces!
"Mother……"

Her hands trembled and she murmured unconsciously.

As a "psychiatrist", her emotions almost collapsed in an instant. Audrey felt that her spirit seemed to be divided into two. One was crying uncontrollably, fearing in the dark like a little girl, wanting to go back to her family. Beside her, and the other was urging her to stand up quickly, stand up quickly—this fear had already been experienced once before, and she just stood up, why not now? !

Audrey didn't know how long it had passed, it was about five seconds, maybe five minutes.

She slowly put down her hands that were holding her head, and regained her footing with her limp legs.Audrey was a little thankful that the puppet had no tears on its body, otherwise she would have been crying with tears all over her face, which was very ugly.

"Mr. Taufik..." she said hoarsely, and then shouted, "Mr. Taufik!"

The voice was swallowed by darkness, and no one answered.

Afterwards, Audrey heard a sound coming from the front of her side, she approached there without thinking, and was horrified to find that Taufik in black robe was lying there, with a big hole in his chest, and his heart was no longer Wing and fly.

Audrey's heart seemed to be beating for a moment, and her brain suddenly became chaotic.

But the next moment, her shoulder was pushed heavily, and that familiar roar came from behind her, cursing: "Don't dream!"

Audrey was shocked, and when she looked intently again, she found that the corpse in front of her eyes had been swallowed by darkness, and the person standing there was replaced by another person—a priest wearing black long-distance running from the Church of Evernight, with a kind face middle-aged men.

Taufik exerted some strength with the hand holding Audrey's shoulder, as if trying to grab her behind.But Audrey was surprised to find that the other party didn't pull her - he was injured!Audrey realized immediately, and the injury was unclear!When I was shocked by fear just now, they had already engaged in a confrontation, and it was a one-sided battle!

With a slight smile on Anthony's face, he first looked at Taufik, and then his eyes fell on Audrey.

Audrey saw his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about what it was.Her heart skipped a beat, worried that Archbishop St. Anthony, who was proficient in spirit body communication, would see her soul and recognize herself as Audrey Hall.

Audrey immediately entered the "Letty Orr" state. In order not to be recognized, no matter how much she was suffering in her heart, she had to act vigilant and hostile to prevent being seen.

"The lackeys of the Northern Continent..." Toufik gritted his teeth and made a bone-chilling voice.

Facing St. Anthony, he didn't have to worry about his own hatred and anger, not to mention that the other party's attitude and eyes were so hateful.

But the requiem, hypnosis, and dreams of the Church of Evernight really made him feel troublesome, and he was always forced to be quiet, and then faced with a fatal attack from the opponent.It was as if all my anger and strength had been slapped on the cotton, and it had no effect at all.

Just when he was about to attack, Audrey suddenly stopped in front of him and asked loudly:

"Why did you attack the Southern Continent?"

"I know you. You are the Archbishop of the Church of Evernight in the Northern Continent and the head of the Backlund Diocese, Anthony Stevenson!"

"You are a tolerant and good man in Backlund, a bishop with impeccable character. Didn't you see our children crying and our city destroyed when you attacked us?"

Anthony calmly looked at the young woman who questioned herself, the smile on her face remained unchanged:
"I saw."

"So, I will directly attack you."

"The Highlands don't threaten you!" Letty Orr demanded, "Why?"

"I don't need to answer your question, dear lady doctor." Archbishop Anthony's mood did not fluctuate at all, fully demonstrating how he is as warm as a spring breeze to children in his own country, and as ruthless as a cold wind to people in foreign countries. It is also to save my country, our people, and our children. Since there are irreconcilable contradictions, we can only use our strength to decide who is superior."
